I am 5 ft. tall and wear a size 10 jeans. I have a pair of M biking shorts...is M too big for me in these tights?

I think M will be fine because I wear size 4-6 jeans but I am 5'9" and Med are perfect. These are my favorite riding pants!

tricky! I wear a regular, and I am 5' 4". They go up to my knees. They are a little big and I sometimes need to re-adjust them when kicking the bag. I think this size should cover your shins and in-step no problem - unless you have those loooooong John Jones legs - then you may have to size up to a large. Good Luck!! :)

@Adolph H. - I purchased the extra small - I am 5'5", 145 pounds. My pair seemed a little more snug than I am used to but after a few rides they seemed to break in. I would order a large - I'm afraid extra large would be too loose.

I wear a size 4 or an XS in street clothing, but I wear an S in these shorts (and most sportswear). They fit me perfectly. So I'm guessing these shorts are probably a 4-6 and a medium would be an 8-10. If you get the right size, you will love them. My oldest pair is probably four years old and still looks new, despite being worn once a week all this time.

I am 5'4" and 110 pounds with shortish legs. I got the smallest size and they fit me almost perfectly, just a half inch long. There's enough room in the waist that I think they would fit you fine that way. The zip off part is just above my knee. You may have get them shortened a few inches, but they should fit okay.

it depends on the size of your quads. I am 5'4" 115lbs with cyclist thighs and wear a small. My husband is 5'9" and 155-160lbs and needs an xs. You can go to the pearl izumi site and get a size table. It is based on the girth of your quads!

Don't know if this helps or not, because I'm 5'10" and weigh 140, but I wear the small in these shorts. They fit me perfectly and I really like them. They're perfect for dive boats, etc., where you want a little more coverage.

They have an 8 inch inseam and come just above my knees. I'm 5'4 and wear a size 29/30 waist in jeans. The shorts have an elastic waist and draw string so you should be able to snug them around your waist.

You will probably be okay with the small unless you are a bigger guy. I am a large stature runner with large thighs and gluted so I have to buy up one size in most brands of running shorts.

In my experience, these run tight around the waist. I have a 32" waist and normally wear a medium in underwear. However, I bought these in a size L and find them quite tight.

The hip size determined it for me. If you are smaller than 38" you could probably wear a large. Your height should not be a problem because I had way too much leg length and they crumpled up a bit.

Well, if you have wide thighs they might be tight. I have wide thighs and a large still felt tight. If you're thinner with smaller hips you should be alright

I am 5'3" and weigh 130. I bought the medium size, and they are tight enough to do the job but not so tight that I can't stand to wear them. I'm thinking maybe a size medium would be too tight for you if, as you say, you are between a medium and large. Hope this helps.

You might want to go to their size breakdown. These are compression tights. They are for running so muscle and joint support. No idea about veins. I am 5' 3" 109-110 lbs and wear XS.

I'm sorry but don't think I can help. Being 5'8" I took up the stretch in the length so they were too small around the thighs. The company was very kind to return them and refund my money. I wish they would have fit, I liked the style.

To answer your question I would say probably not. I am 5'6" tall and the extra-large pair of shorts fall just to the top of my knees when I'm standing. When I'm on the bike the shorts ride about 2 inches above my knee so the shorts aren't long enough to chafe the back of my knee. You could probably hem the outer short but the liner has an elastic band to keep it tight around your legs. I think it would be difficult to hem the liner and possibly uncomfortable to wear it if you did . The liner is about an inch shorter than the outer shorts and depending how much you hemmed the shorts you would probably see the liner if you didn't hem it. I hope this helps you in your decision.

Never. The shorts are very snug. I wear them in spin class. I'm also accident prone so if something was able to get caught on something it would happen to me. Now that it's in my head it may happen today. I'll let you know.
